Elaina Hess is a freshman at HAHS, Elaina started in the Hamburg School District when she was in fifth grade at Perry Elementary. As of now Elaina is in choir, drama club and aerial boundaries. Along with those she also participates in the school musical for example she has been in both Elf  and Beauty and the Beast. Elaina got adopted when she was 12 and then she moved to Hamburg after that. Before Hamburg Elaina went to Spring Grove and Pine Grove elementary. With Elaina being adopted she has six siblings.

     I met Elaina in 7th grade and she is now one of my best friends. She is always very sweet and kind to me and others. For example if I am struggling with homework or class work, if I text her for help, she always tries to help me the best she can. Whenever someone in class needs help or needs to borrow something, if Elaina can help or has the item they need, she is the first one to help or offer the item. Overall Elaina is a very nice person, and I am happy I am able to call her one of my best friends.
